city. Freight handlers of the Penn.
sylvania Railroad company employed
on the company's North river piers to-
day notified the managers that
unless the rate OF wages was
increased from IL to 70 cents
per hour II general strike would
follow all along the company's docks,
The company was given until to-
morrow noon to consider the demand.
There are about two thousand men
employed on the piers. Demands
were also made by freight handlers
employed by the Central railroad of
New Jersey and by the New York,
Lake Erie and Western for increased
wages and threatening to Immediately
quite work if their demands are not
complied with. The concessions
asked for were refused absolutely. At
the office Of the New Jersey Central,
it was asccrtained that committee OF
five waited upon thereceivcrs this
morning and presented II demand for
increased wages for freight handlers
and other employees, and insisting on
an answer on or before three O'Clock
this afternoon. The receivers met
them again at that hour to give them
written reply in which they declined
to comply with the demand. The
committee took their departure and
Immediately afterwards the freight
handlers OF the company on pier IA
went out on s:rike. Among the de-
mands o. the committee was that the
coal strike, as for as the Central rail
road in New jersey is concerned,
should be settled in twenty-fodr hours
after presenting the petition. In the
course of the reply the company
says: 1--WE expect to give
equal pay to clerks and
others who are employed in similar po.
sitions, provided they:are equally quail
fed to FIJI their positions, but we can
not recognize the propriety OF paying
all alike without regard to experience
or efficiency. You state that you will
not handle any freight that has beer
previously bundled by non-union men
AS receiver of company that is
common carrier it is our dirty to han
die any freight presented 70 ds
whether the same has been previousl,
handled by non-union men or other
wise, and we shall do our utmost
to perform this duty. Iol
demand that the, coal strike b'
settled, as far AS our railroad is con
cerned in twenty-four hours. Thi
atrike does not exist among our EN-
ployes, it is for others, not for us t.
SETTLE" Several more ocean steamer
arrived to-day. Non-union men ar
working better and there is not 81
much freight piled up rs on Saturday
In Brooklyn the strikers are quiet ant
orderly. Freight is being moved slow
" by Italians and non-union handlers
There is much embarrassment t.
business.

The Festive Dynamite.

New YoRK, Jan. 31.-At D O'Clock
this afternoon the steamship Guyan-
dotte sailed from her pier in this city
for Norfolk. When off Long Branch
an explosion occurred in the after part
OF the saloon by which Capt. Kelly
and James Justina were slightly in
jured. The explosion is believed to
have been from dynamite packed in a
satohel that had been left in the closet
room. The steamer at once put about
and arrived ut her dock at 10 80 to-
night. The amount of damage to the
vessel has not been obtained yet.
The Guyandotte left with a mixed
cargo though only partly loaded. She
carried five saloon and fifteen steerage
passengers with a crew Of AZ persons.
1t was discovered that hole about fif-
teen feet square had been caused by
the explosion through the main and
hurricane decks and much damage had
been done in the saloon and to outside
Joiner work on the main deck. The
cabin was filed with splinters of timber.
The vessel 10 uninjured, but the captain
deemed the vessel in no condition to
continue the voyage and he put back.
A stranger was seen hurrying from the
closet where the explosion occurred a
few moments before she sailed. He
was about 35 years old, five feet, nine
inches high, carried u satchel when
first seen, but had none when he left
the ship. Kelly will see no one to-
night. No person has been permitted
on board and the pier company is
guarded by police.

GERM ANY.
AN APPEAL,

BERLIN, Jan. 31.--A committee of
the National Liberal party has issued
a manifesto to electors. They say
"Never since the Franco-German war
has the danger of a great conflict been
80 near. No statesman can form any
certain conclusion as to the future
even for few weeks. The peace OF
Europe rests at this moment solely
upon the strength, readiness for action
and moral trustworthiness of the Ger
man army. The national liberals arc
confident that the voice Of universal
suffrage will pronounce a right deci-
sion. An unpropitious issue of the
election will bring down upon the
country war with all its terrors and its
best results, heavy losses"
SEEMING SAFE.
The Post (semi-officiaD in u leading
article headed "On the Edge of the
Knife" says: The position Of General
Boulanger is now not only strength
ening but is becoming unassailable.

The Sentinel says the Chief of Police
of Milwaukee lately received letter from
Chicago, stating that man wanted for
child murder was living in Chicago 1t
then goes on to state the circumstances:
Seven years ago a professional labor
agitator induced the daughter of Mani
towoc farmer to live with him. She gave
birth to child and was deserted by the
man who had effected her ruin. The
body of the child was found in an ash-pile
and when the the officers entered the
house In following up a clue, they found
the woman in starving condition. She
died a short time after being found. 1t
was afterward learned that the man W. -
had deserted the poor girl had a wife and
two children living in chicago. It is
thought the letter TO the Chief comes
from him.
Inc account does not say who the girl
was. Her father was notified of her
death and went on to Milwaukee and
became terribly enraged when he learned
how his daughter lived. This happened
SIX years ago.

IT seems that the man found in an IN

IT seems that the man found In an I'M
conscious condition in the northern part
OF Two Creeks about two weeks ago was
the victim Of a most aggravated and bru'
tai assault at the hands of a couple Of
kewaunee county farmers. Stewart had
some difficulty with d hotel keeper at
Tisch Mills. He LEFT the hotel and was
followed by couple of farmers who beat
him most numerically and then placed
him In the cutter and started the horse
off. From their actions it would appear
they thought they had killed the man.
His body and head are in a terrible con-
dition from the brutal usage to which he
was subjected. He is said to have lived
a temperate life, but having sustained an
injury at Clintonville some years ago he
has since not been of very strong mind.
The villains who assaulted him should be
punished to the fullest extent of the law,
and doubtless will be.
Since the above was written it is learn
ed that Stewart died on Friday, and did
not recover consciousness. Justice Rein
holdt held an inquest on his remains. A
post norton examination was held, con-
Quoted by Doctors Currens, Luhman, ST.

Stewart refused to pay a bill at saloon
in Tisch Mills, and left, going north
Two young farmers of Carlton, Kewau-
nee county, named Penzem and Lovboda
agreed to collect the bill and started In
pursuit of Stewart for that purpose, they
being told BY the saloonkeeper that they
could have what they collected. They
overlook Sewart at Schauer's saloon and
on his refusal to pay, assaulted him and
injured him so severely that it caused
conclusion of the brain. There was no
evidence that he was placed in the cutter
by the persons who beat him. At 8
o'clock that night his horse was found on
the side of the road near Bachs store at
Carlton. Stewart was then unable to
speak but this was attributed to drunk
enness. The horse was led into the road
and headed toward Two Creeks. The
physicians do not all agree as to the cause
of the mans dealt The above is syn

JUBILEE SINGERS.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers have been
engaged to give a concert at the Presby-
terrain church on Thursday evening next.
This company was organized some years
ago to aid in building the Fisk University
and to make the people of the North
familiar with ''the sacred weird unwritten
Jubilee songs of the log cabin and the
cotton-feld." Since then the Singers
have travelled over Europe appearing
before crown-heads and eiciting the
admiration of England's great statesman
Gladstone. The press notices-too
often complimentary as a matter of course
in their case have a ring of sincerity.
This entertainment will be a delightful
one. See advertisement elsewhere

broke out in Eaton, soon after in Schles-

fatal in many cases.
